As is they said that, it's absolutely not a myth. Pregnancy gingivitis is well documented around the world, recognised by NHS, CDC..... progesterone makes you more prone. Not to mention the increase in blood volume making gums more likely to bleed. There are even studies into gum disease and poor pregnancy outcomes due to underlying infection.
I know I was really taken aback when they said that as I was expecting them to be like yep, do this, do that to reduce the risk/effects etc. And this was 2 completely separate conversations and they both said the same thing!
Definitely! We had the long style drawers with my first and put the changing mat on top for a changing station but we soon changed them to the tall drawers because we needed more floor space so that’s something to think about.
It’s just stressful to me trying to think of the right decision that also looks the best it can for the price. I’ve seen on tik tok quite a few nurseries with the Hemnes 8 drawers and it does look cute especially if you change the handles to nicer ones as well with the wicker changing basket on top. We’re also going safari themed. It was the best I could come up with for a boy. I’ve seen some really sweet animal stuff.
It’s hard to know what you’re going to need. We didn’t do any themes before just painted the bottom half of the walls pale blue but now he’s moved onto navy, space theme with rocket ships
we painted the spare room a very light grey a while ago so will probably just keep that as it is and set that up as the nursery. I don’t want to set the big cot up until we use it but I’d just like a space for the baby to lay on a little play mat, have tummy time etc. I wasn’t going to bother swapping the rooms about until we moved the baby into its own room but I think we’ll just do it now so it’s done and we have that space for baby things to go rather than craming it all into our bedroom.
I went through that phase too, dreadful, then it moved toI think I’m just destined to only sleep for 1-2 hour stints from now on
I just got one from babygo. It's more like a sports bra so no underwire. So comfy! Adjustable straps.Can anyone recommend any good maternity / nursing bras for larger boobs please ?
I’ve got these from M&S - already in the largest size they do (I am a 38d/DD) but they’re comfy and stretchy so hoping they’ll last me throughCan anyone recommend any good maternity / nursing bras for larger boobs please ?
I want to ideally breast feed this baby, or at least give it a go, BUT when I have birth to my first baby I had covid and was v poorly so it put me off trying with him because I didn’t want to give him Covid or anything!! why does my brain work like this 
Ice cold water, soda water (way better than regular fizzy water) or flavoured sparkling water.How are people managing to get their fluids in in the early days please? I feel like someone’s dug me up and the only thing that helps me is a normal Coke and obviously I can’t keep doing that
Ice in everything! But also you can have a couple of cans of coke within your caffeine limit. Or maybe try decaf coke (gold cans) and see if that gives you the coke fix? There really is nothing like a cold full large coke in pregnancy though!How are people managing to get their fluids in in the early days please? I feel like someone’s dug me up and the only thing that helps me is a normal Coke and obviously I can’t keep doing that
Coke and crisps was all I lived on during my first pregnancy and it done me no harm, but maybe wreck my teeth!How are people managing to get their fluids in in the early days please? I feel like someone’s dug me up and the only thing that helps me is a normal Coke and obviously I can’t keep doing that
I love the Starbucks strawberry refresher drink but that’s not too fun on my bank balance! I feel like with HG or just even at the start you need something fizzy. I’ve been having sprite as an alternative and no sugar.
